Ian Edwards

Show Summary

As the show begins, Adam talks about the success of the Rich Man Poor Man ebook, even though there was a technical glitch on iTunes. Adam also complains about the camera glitches on his Laguna Seca racing footage, and rants about people leaving their tools at home. Later he talks about his experience on Glenn Beck’s show, and takes calls about his Birchum animated project, and hangover remedies.

Before bringing the guest in, Alison starts up the news with the anniversary of the Northridge Earthquake. Adam recalls bottoming out during that time period, and also goes on a rant about internet censorship and entitlement. Comedian Ian Edwards then joins the show, and Adam talks to him about his upcoming comedy benefit. They also talk about being born in England and raised in Jamaica, and Adam tells a story about a visit to Bishop Don ‘Magic’ Juan’s house.

In the last part of the show, Alison talks about the war vet accused of stabbing homeless people. Adam goes on a rant about Tex Watson, and the guys joke about a ‘Prison Publicist’ TV show. The show wraps up with a discussion of the Pinkberry owner who allegedly beat up a homeless man, and Adam opens up about his racism.

Aceman…. as of 1:38am PST Wednesday (4:38pm Bangkok time), “RICH MAN, POOR MAN” is NOT seen on the USA iTunes book section. I wonder if it has anything to do with the fact that there are several other books with the exact same title? Can not be found by searching your name either. What shit! My bet it that it is Crown’s fuck-up, not Apple’s.

No one is saying that pirate content is okay. The problem with SOPA is that it basically gives the RIAA and MPAA carte blanche to shut down ANY website they want with basically no proof of any violations.

For example, if I posted a link to this blog where you could download Defending Your Life, the MPAA could have this entire site shut down along with pulling your podcasts offline.

Yes, and it’s terrible, but really it’s just a formalization of the current power structure, a means to make corporate hegemony more efficient. It’s good for us Worker Bees, more honey to trickle down, their largess.

For the most part the Adam Carolla app is great. Problem is that if you’re listening to a podcast, pause it, and then come back later and play, it sometimes loses it place place. The podcast will restart back a few minutes from you left off. Please fix!! Thanks

Regarding the old man shoes…my dad was a lifetime cowboy boot wearer. I think it was to add an extra inch to his 5’5” height… he entered his 60’s and suddenly was rocking the old man velcro shoes. I think you reach a certain age and you become morally opposed to shoe laces.

first off, SOPA and PIPA were not initiated by the government, i know he enjoys ranting against it, but his rants are misdirected in this case; they are actually initiated by the same people he complains constantly about for rehashing old shit like “land of the lost”, the same people that have driven him to the fringes of podcasting and off network TV and radio, the same people that will have no problem of accusing his podcast of infringing on their copyrights for playing and making fun of eagles’ shitty songs.

this brings me to my second point; SOPA and PIPA, like Mark said above is not directed specifically at pirated content as you understand pirated content–being bought and sold in the seedy back-alleys of third-world countries, or traded freely by people who understand ownership of content as the right to share said content–but it really is so vague in its scope that ANY use of ANY copyright material (like 99% of Bryan’s drops) will be considered grounds for shutting down this and any other like-minded podcast.

Again, I want to believe that his stance on SOPA and PIPA just stems from his own lovable dumb douchebaggy self, but it is quite interesting that now that he is trying to get his animated show off the ground at fox, he takes a very similar stance to the entire thing that that of his future boss.

I don’t think it’s a matter of him being dumb or getting talking points from someone else. This is Adam Carolla we’re dealing with here. Do you honestly believe that he’s following SOPA and PIPA? Of course they are terrible, but there is no way you could explain how DNS works to a carpenter. It’s just not on his radar.

when has Adam ever ranted about anything he actually knows about? Of course he doesn’t know shit about SOPA, he never knows shit about anything. SOPA doesn’t specifically engage pirating at all. Why doesn’t Adam ever TRY TO FIND OUT about anything he yells about????!!!!

It’s called Rich White people problems. Whether Adam thinks so or not he has been compromised by his money and ass kissing employees. His type of problem is figuring out what ridiculously expensive parts for his silly ass cars he can find or finding someone to pay to watch his kids while his wife doesn’t work!!!
Those are his issues….he no longer lives in reality….he lives in rich man reality.

He said like a dozen times how he didn’t know the particulars on it and really, his only point was that big whitey is always gonna get his hand in on anything profitable, hasn’t been able to yet on the internet, but will at some point.

Can we all agree that Chocolate News was NOT funny? It was horrifically bad. It was just another Comedy Central funded ad for Obama in the 2 months leading to the election, (along with Colbert Report, Daily Show, etc). Ironic that of those 3 big Dem cheerleaders, the black one lost his job right after the election.

Wow! Who moderates this thing.?.let me guess…every once in awhile Adam should threaten to fire bald idiot and alison idiot and send them away for a few shows and then bring ‘em back…it’d change their snarky tunes pretty quick! LOL If this doesn’t make it on the site, I guess I’ll have my answer!

The driving save at the begining of the show is called by motocrossers and road racers, car and bike alike, a “Tank Slapper”. Bikes are you Slapping into the Tank and Cars are the gas Slapping back and forth in the Tank – The More You Know…

Ace, the way she informed SOPA in the podcast totally misrepresented the cons of SOPA. For example, your entire website could be tagged and BLOCKED because someone might say the Steve Miller “Abracadabra” parody break copyright. Of course you would be able to prove it is fair use satire but only AFTER you go through the trouble of proving that. Your entire pirate ship depends on the internet being free from idiotic legislature like SOPA.

SOPA is like a piece of legislature trying to prevent child molestation by imposing kiddie chastity belts welded onto their small ass.

I agree with Corolla on everything, except the pirating. He is looking at this the way it was looked at 10 15 years ago. A lot has changed since then. The solution to piracy is FAIR PRICE and EASY AVAILABILITY! Something publishers and studio’s haven’t and most likely will never figure out till they are dead and gone.

Good show. I can just see an ice cream truck pulling up front of the house of Snoops house after a a big fatty.lol Too bad Allyson has such a negative attitude about the brave men and women in our VOLUNTEER forces. Funny how Adam is spot on about different stereotypes and she’s definitely the stereotypical libtard. Way to demonize the youth that are actually doing something besides occupying wallstreet and eating their boogers in their moms basements. Really starting to not like that woman. Represents so much wrong with this culture.

You know Tex Watson makes visits to the prisons in Arizona as a “religious” leader? He probably visits prisons in other states as well. Nice that a guy who murders 7 or so people gets to walk around loose in the world.
And black guys, stop with the stupid hand signs whenever there’s a camera around. You’re either in a gang, which makes you a twat, or else you aspire to look like it, which makes you a twat. (OOH……Racist!)

Thanks Alison for the Ayn Rand reference. I don’t know if anyone else caught it but it was appreciated by this guy. Literary allusions are sorely lacking in the pod, I think if Adam weren’t functionally illiterate he would appreciate Rand.

Any philosophy that starts with “I have no interest” is sophistry. The compelling thing about religion is duty, which should appeal to most on this board.

Of course I have an interest in religion; because I think, and let’s hear the argument. Maybe it’s relevant. Probably it doesn’t agree with my ideas, but maybe I can bend them (my ideas)? Or use them (my doubts)? I dunno.

Hey guys I can’t register at carollaboards.com is that something you control? I get access denied when I try to click any link, it just won’t let me go anywhere. If I had a username and password it is asking me for one but I don’t think I ever registered. It won’t let me go to password recovery to check either.

Sweet, another not funny and not entertaining guest!!! Come on Adam!!! And the GOD DAMN COMMERCIALS….I fast forward through them all!!! I do like that, but I inevitably miss part of the show because of those stupid ass commercials. And no dude, I will not click through your website…..I am a little tired of hearing the pissing and moaning of rich white people problems. I promise you his attitude would be different when he was poor……he would have pirated every song he could have…….SO SHUT THE FUCK UP rich white man!! Your Rants are becoming stale.

I remember that after the earthquack the illness they said was going around was something like “Valley Fever”, which sounds like a terrible 80’s movie and / or the theme song from same movie done by Oingo Boingo. ( I like them but it fits )

I suggest taking a lesson from Louis CK if you want to know how to get your base to support you and prevent piracy.https://buy.louisck.net/

Your new E-Book could EASILY be pirated, but most will purchase it because they believe that your name is synonymous with a quality product.
Also it may be in your best interest to become familiar with SOPA and PIPA, because it may have an affect on your freedom to play songs in the background, link and use youtube clips and utilize other media resources without having to pay the copyright owners.
Make yourself aware ollddd mannnnn, because if either of the bills pass under the way they are currently written you will not be “grandfather” into previous ways of doing business and it will greatly effect you too.

Good luck with e-book, I will probably wait for the paper back version.

SOPA is a bad bill but there does need to be a better written bill to stop websites from distributing pirated work. And just because you think the song/software/etc…is over priced or any other excuse doesn’t make it ok for you to steal.

Adam showing up to host a podcast where he talks about current events and knowing nothing about SOPA or PIPA is kind of like a hairstylist showing up without hair goo, or a carpenter showing up without tool bags.

What are the chances that within the same show, Glenn Beck and all his bullshit gets a pass because he pays his taxes, but “Abracadabra” is a sign of the end times? The only thing that would have made the inconsistency any more stark is if there had been the occasion to rant about Syd and Marty Croft.

Adam has an issue with Ed Asner and his conspiracy theories, but has no problem with Glen Beck? Beck is the king of crazy conspiracy theories and religious dogma. He’s a nutbag right wing Mormon, that spreads hateful memes on his stupid chalkboard and airwaves. Fox “News” of all places, actually thought he was too over the top and dropped him. Beck is the perfect example of someone who Adam would rant against. Now he goes on his show and thinks he is harmless. Beck is one of the most egregious contributes to the dividing of this country with the fear mongering to the mouth breathing stupid. Either Adam never watched / listened his show, or is easily turned by a simple compliment on a National radio show. So I would ask Adam one of his favorite questions: Are you stupid or a liar?
